At a function held at the BJP headquarters here the party national president JP Nadda also paid floral tribute to Deendayal Upadhyaya, who was a torch bearer of right-wing Hindutva ideology being espoused by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Addressing the party workers on the occasion Nadda recalled the contribution of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya to nation building. He said Upadhyaya’s philosophy of Ekatma Manav had been the main driving force behind the formulation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s socio-economic policies and responsible for economic uplift of the country.
Nadda said the Upadhyaya’s birth anniversary functions were being held simultaneously at 10 lakh 40 thousands booths across the country. He exhorted the party workers to pledge to work for the development of the country in accordance with the philosophy of Ekatma Manav Darshan under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
The BJP president said Upadhyaya propagated the ideology of Jan Sangh and laid the foundation for the emergence of Jan Sangh in its new political avatar of Bharatiya Janta Party which had become the medium for serving humanity.
